What Does Decommissioning Entail?
As offshore facilities and vessels age over time, the need for responsible decommissioning becomes inevitable. ABS has long prioritized environmental safety and is committed to supporting ethical and safe decommissioning and recycling practices. Sustainable operations are a major priority, mainly considering the global energy transition, and in this scenario owners and operators balance regulation with environmental stewardship. Safety remains paramount throughout an offshore asset's lifecycle, including its end-of-life phase.
Decomissioning activates encompass various situations posing risks to both crew and the environment, such as aging infrastructure and assets with potential structural issues. Whether at the site or recycling yards, these situations can result in crew injury or the unwanted release of hazardous materials.
Maintaining asset integrity throughout the decommissioning process is crucial for protecting the environment and personnel.
